Explore Rotorua’s geothermal heartland and dive deeper into local culture with a 90 minute guided walk through Te Whakarewarewa Geothermal Valley, plus time to visit the Kiwi Conservation Centre and the New Zealand Maori Arts and Crafts Institute. With an expert kaiarahi leading the way, you’ll follow steaming trails past bubbling mud pools and the mighty Pohutu Geyser, while hearing the stories and traditions that shape this living landscape.

After your valley walk, take your seat in a traditionally carved meeting house for a 30 minute Maori cultural performance, featuring pohiri, waiata, moteatea, poi and haka. It’s a meaningful way to share Rotorua’s geothermal wonders and culture, and it’s an easy gift for anyone who loves to dive into learning through culture and exploration.
